Fact-checking Biden’s press conference


 NY Post  "President Biden’s first press conference Thursday turned out to be a trip into an alternate reality. In fact after fact, his statements were either grossly misleading or downright false. Here is just a small sample:

"Biden says: “We’re sending back the vast majority of families who are coming” to the border.

"Reality: The actual figure is about 13 percent of families being turned away.

"Biden says: “The idea that I’m going to say, which I would never do, if an unaccompanied child ends up at the border, we’re just going to let them starve to death and stay on the other side, no previous administrations did either, except Trump.”

"Reality: Trump never sent any kids off to starve to death. Many were flown back to their home countries.

"Biden says: “No, I haven’t” ever rejected bipartisanship.

"Reality: His executive orders and legislative agenda couldn’t be more divisive or partisan. His COVID relief pack was passed zero Republican votes. And he refuses to deal with any Republicans who won’t accept 100 percent of his agenda.

"Biden says: “I hoped to get 100 million shots in people’s arms in my first 100 days. We met that goal last week by Day 58, 42 days ahead of schedule.”

"Reality: The nation was already on course to well surpass that goal when he took office." . . .
